Although Selux needs her to transmit the power of light for him, but their position at this time is obviously not suitable for doing this leisurely.
Those sanctimonious guys, if they lose an elf, they will probably rack their brains to get her back, otherwise the elves will not be able to explain it, and the reputation of Saint Niard College will be ruined. The cubs are sent to participate in the trial of preparing for birth
After all, there are still a few powerful guys in St. Niard's College, so no matter how careful his small movements on the portal are, as long as they are willing to work hard, it will be a matter of time before they find him.
For this reason, it is also very necessary to leave this place with the atmosphere of the portal as soon as possible.
"Come with me."
In the darkness, Tang Ming heard his voice, followed by footsteps that he didn't try to hide.
When he said this, she felt relieved. If she really wanted to live in this cave that was surrounded by mud and where she couldn't see her fingers, she would definitely not be able to survive the day of completing the task.
"Selux?" she called out.
"What's wrong?"
If there's anything Selux's only advantage as a dark character is, it's that he basically responds to what she says.
Following Selux's voice, Tang Ming trotted a few steps and grabbed his sleeve.
After successfully grabbing the sleeve, she fumbled to hold his hand. This holding was like holding the hand of a skeleton, icy cold and without flesh and blood.
Obviously there is still some flesh on the face, but unexpectedly the palm hidden under the robe is still in this state.
"... What are you doing?" His voice was rare and deep, as if he was about to get angry.
Tang Ming didn't expect him to be in such a state now. With his personality, even though he doesn't value his inhuman appearance, since he chose to cover up his bone-like hands with a wide robe If you don't live, then he definitely doesn't want to be seen by others.
Any difference in aesthetics may be an excuse for talking about it.
After all, he used to be a human being, even after a thousand years, he has become neither human nor ghost, and his aesthetics will not be deviated to such an extent. Now that I think about it, no matter what the reason is, he fell in love with the heroine in the original text Yes, and as the heroine, Olivia's appearance is of course needless to say, even if she is favored by the God of Darkness, she is still an elf, and the appearance of an elf is always noble and beautiful to the point of freshness and refinement.
So Selux is like a person who loves food very much and suddenly lost his sense of taste, and can no longer taste any taste, so he subconsciously rejects all food.
He can accept her seeing his unsightly face, but he can't accept her touching his hand, which shows that what Selux really can't let go of and cares about is the reality that he is no longer human.
Even though thousands of years have passed, he is still unable to face the fact that he is no longer a human being. I am afraid that a large part of the reason is that he was too open and aboveboard when he was alive, and it is even more difficult to face the current self after death.
"Let go." She didn't move for a long time, and Selux's voice became cold.
Tang Ming simply held on tighter, "No, it's so dark here, I can't see anything, if I don't pull you, I will fall down."
There was no abnormality in her tone, as if she couldn't feel the sharp touch of her palm, Selux didn't say a word, just when he was about to shake her off, he heard her say again.
"Let me hold you, okay?" The girl who was quite calm before finally showed a trace of panic in her voice, "... I won't do bad things."
"..."
Selux could feel the girl's inconspicuous trembling in his hands. She didn't seem to be unafraid. After all, she was only a 10-year-old child. For the elves, I'm afraid that even one-thousandth of her life is still worthless. It is normal to be afraid when you are suddenly caught in a strange place before you finish walking.
"I don't like dark places. It's so dark here that I can't see anything, but if I can hold you by my hand, it will give me a sense of security."
"Sense of security?" Selux hadn't felt this kind of dazed feeling for a long time. He didn't quite understand how the girl got the sense of security from him. "You don't seem to understand. The most dangerous thing is me, as long as I want, I can let you die here at any time."
She still stubbornly held his hand and refused to let go.
Selux finally tasted the feeling of digging his own grave, but compared with adults, the power of children is more pure, and it is precisely because of this that he chose the opportunity of trial to plunder a child of light attribute.
Such a decision naturally has advantages and disadvantages, and now the disadvantages are directly placed in front of him.
The child in front of him who was favored by the God of Light was not afraid of him at all.
No matter how cold-blooded and cruel Selux was, he wouldn't attack a child who was only 10 years old, not to mention that he still needed her now. If he lost this girl, it would be difficult to find such a child with pure light power.
The God of Light only wants the old man
If the undead are still there, it is not easy for him to start.
So Tang Ming succeeded in the end. Although Selux did not speak all the way abnormally, he was able to compromise and lead her all the way. This is already a great improvement for the first day of the strategy. .
Although it was done by walking, Tang Ming assured that he must have used some special method.
She obviously didn't feel like she had walked a lot along the way, but when she realized it, she had already reached an underground palace.
What is certain is that the underground palace is not connected to the previous caves. No matter how half-baked Tang Ming's magic knowledge is, she can still feel the distortion of the space at that moment when she is on the road.
It was an extremely inconsistent feeling, as long as one had the heart to notice it.
The scale of the underground palace was outrageous, and the only thing that could act as a light was the blue-green flames floating in the underground palace like will-o'-the-wisps. Selux led her to a room.
"Today you rest first, tomorrow I will teach you how to control your energy, every day in the future you have to provide me with your light power."
"Then what if I'm hungry?" Tang Ming asked.
He froze for a moment, and it was at this moment that Selux suddenly realized that the elves needed to eat.
Tang Ming didn't know how difficult it was for her to answer this question, which led to Selux's silent silence for so long at this time, but if this problem is not solved, it will obviously not work. She is afraid that she will be hungry before the task is completed. died.
In the end, Selux left without leaving a solution, leaving Tang Ming alone in the room. She took out the crystal nucleus from her pocket and put it on the table to act as the only lighting in the room.
Tang Ming’s food problem was solved the next day. The skeletons under Selux got some fruits with elemental energy from somewhere. This kind of fruit is also very common in the elves, and it is the usual food for the elves. .
This is what Tang Ming hates the most. Elves don't eat meat.
In this Western fantasy background world where meals are full of meat, only the elves have a different style of painting. They only need to eat some elemental fruits to maintain their lives. If they don’t eat fruits and only drink water, they will not die.
Fortunately, Selux didn't have to eat, at least she wouldn't have to watch others eat.
After the food problem was solved, Selux began to orthodoxly teach Tang Ming that if he could control her energy, his own power control was obtained through countless practices, and it was a completely wild way, so the treatment of Tang Ming Sometimes it's simple and rude.
After training every day, it is the transmission of light power. As long as she does not use the ability of "faucet", Tang Ming found that every time she transported all the light power in her body and successfully collapsed, her energy would be more abundant the next day than the previous day.
The speed of her progress even surprised Selux, and he couldn't help but start to fall in love with her after a long time.
Selux spent too long time alone. Originally, he only wanted to arrest and lock up the child of the Light God Sect, and use strong methods to force him to contribute his light power every day, but now he only wants to Because the wrong person was caught, even life was completely disrupted.
He couldn't lock her up and force her as planned, because she didn't refuse from the beginning, her attitude was obedient and well-behaved, and she contributed all her strength to him as agreed, and she was still the same the next day after collapsing into a coma every day.
Selux had never met anyone who didn't appreciate his rotting face and skeletal body, and even when he was alive, someone would judge him because of some battle scars on his face, and even more so. Not to mention this face now.
Maybe when she looked into his eyes and laughed and said his eyes were ugly, he couldn't treat her as usual.
Selux silently looked at Tang Ming who collapsed and passed out, just like every day before, he stretched out his hand and hugged her back to her room.
Lying on the bed, she seemed to be unstable even in a coma. Her hands were tightly clutching his robe, her small body curled up into a ball, and the blond hair that was glowing softly when she first saw it seemed to be dimmed. few.
He stretched out his hand to push away her hand that was pulling his robe, but she grabbed it when he retracted it. She held his hand, but she was still frowning even in a dream. What did she say unconsciously? , Selux didn't hear it until the second time.
"Xiao Sai..." She called his name, as if she had dreamed of something bad and her expression was a bit painful.
I don't know when she started calling him from Selux to Xiao Sai. Looking at the entire Leo continent, no one would dare to call him that. They always call him the same as evil and brutal. Classes are inseparable.
Selux couldn't dream, so he was a little curious about what kind of dream Tang Ming had that made him call his name in such pain.
He put his other hand on her forehead, intending to take a peek at her dream. If it was a nightmare, it would not be difficult to dispel it for her.
"Xiao Sai's aesthetic... so spicy..."
She murmured sadly.
"..."
Selux silently withdrew his hand.
